The Tütün Hanı (Şahinbey)

The Tobacco House or Tobacco House is a former residence and shop of tobacco merchants in Gaziantep.

The first owner of the Khanate in the center of Gaziantep is Nur Ali Ağa's son Hussein Ağa. It is estimated that the Khanate of Tobacco was built in the mid-18th century. The building belongs to the two-story single-aisled khanate group in Ottoman Khanate architecture.

The Tobacco House, restored in 2006, still serves as a shopping centre and a modern local home-cooked restaurant-cafe, so examples of new roof development are planned while new additions are being made to the structure.
